What about chains for the 2012 ?

Expert Reply:

We have several tire chain choices available for the 2012 Lexus CT200h.

Assuming that your vehicle has size 215/45-17 tires, you can click the provided link to see the available choices. If you have a different tire size, you can use the fit guide link I provided.

The right chain for you will depend on how they are going to be used. If you are planning on keeping them in the trunk of your vehicle just in case you find yourself in an emergency situation, but are not planning on using them often, an inexpensive set of chains like the Thule Standard CB12 Snow Chains, part # TH01221090 would work well for you.

If you are planning on driving into areas where you know you will need chains, and if you expect to find yourself needing chains frequently, you would be better served by investing in a set of self tensioning chains like the Thule CG9, part # TH00023090. These chains provide rim protection, and are easy to install and remove. Thule tire chains are protected by a 5 year limited warranty.

Before purchasing or installing tire chains, be sure to consult your owners manual. Be sure to follow any advice or prohibitions regarding tire chain usage.
